Semua Bab Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman's Sinner Wife: Bab 1731 - Bab 1740

Jeremy suddenly relented.Madeline quickly turned, facing Jeremy’s firm expression, though she did not find this unexpected. He relented solely because of the concern he had for her.The corner of Carter’s lips raised at these words. This was the answer he wanted.“Carter, state your terms,” Jeremy requested, not showing much patience for Carter.Carter did not beat around the bush. “Let Shirley go,” he said bluntly.Madeline had thought that Carter’s demand would be something very difficult or unreasonable. However, she had not expected Carter’s only stipulation was Shirley’s release.Jeremy too found this doubtful. If this was the only stipulation, why should he not oblige?After all, his main purpose in kidnapping Shirley was to exchange her for the anti-toxoid test reagent.“I can let her go, but I have to see the anti-toxoid test reagent first. She told me herself that there’s no completed product, so I’d like to verify that you’re telling the truth and that there’s truly

Jeremy shouted, attempting to stop Carter, but Carter had made up his mind.With all his might, Carter hurled the vial of anti-toxoid test reagent out of the balcony, ensuring that neither party won.However, Jeremy was unwilling to stand by and watch Carter throwing out the anti-toxoid test reagent. At that moment, he launched himself toward the trajectory of the vial, leaping forward like a sword flying from its scabbard, his entire person seemed to soar with the vial.Madeline’s heart suddenly leaped as this scene unfolded.“No! Jeremy…”Madeline cried out in alarm and ran over to Jeremy.However, she could not catch up with Jeremy’s speed. She watched as Jeremy jumped down the balcony, trying to catch the vial of anti-toxoid test reagent.“Jeremy!” Madeline ran hurriedly to the balcony and looked down. She then turned to head downstairs to find Jeremy.However, when she ran past Carter, he suddenly reached out a hand, grabbing her arm.“Let go!” Madeline struggled angrily.

With that, Carter turned and left with a carefree demeanor.Madeline, staring at Carter’s back as he walked away with such finality, felt slightly uneasy.She felt her chest tightened upon seeing the vial of anti-toxoid test reagent shattered on the snow.Noticing the changes in Madeline’s mood, Jeremy, whose face was surprisingly happy, held her hand and comforted her.“Linnie, I know you’re worried about me, but your condition is more urgent now. Even if poison inside me were to flare up, it wouldn’t be much of a problem with Adam around. However, it’s a different story for you. Carter would never genuinely give you the anti-toxoid test reagent.”Madeline could not deny that Jeremy had a point. Nonetheless, she was still fairly upset seeing the shattered vial. Once Carter had left, Madeline and Jeremy returned to the guest room once again.Jeremy examined the room’s condition and inspected the puddle of blood.It was indeed human blood, and judging from the state of which it

Shirley clutched her face and ran forward without bothering which way she was going, braving the biting cold wind and snow.The blood that seeped through the gaps of her fingers fell on the white snow drop by drop, and beautiful blooming flowers seemed to appear on the ground in a split secondShirley did not know how long she had been running for, nor did she know where she was headed to. Her consciousness was getting more and more blurry. When she almost fainted, she rushed out into the road.A taxi could not stop in time and directly crashed into Shirley who was running around blindly.The taxi driver quickly hit the brakes and was so scared by this sudden incident that he was holding the steering wheel without budging an inch.“It’s not my fault. She ran out into the road. It’s not my fault.”The driver kept emphasizing.When Adam and Cathy saw this from the backseat, the two of them opened the door and got out at the same time.As a doctor, Adam would not leave the wounded

After hearing this, Adam felt his heart turn ice-cold. It was as though it had been submerged in bone-chilling ice water, causing his entire body to freeze.When Madeline heard this while standing at the side, she found the situation to be strange. She did not dare to believe that Shirley would die just like this. “Doctor, how’s the patient doing now?”When the doctor saw that Madeline was with Adam, he explained in detail, “Judging from the current situation, she may end up losing her mobility and will have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. The wound on her face is also abnormally deep, so it can be said that she’ll be disfigured.”Disability and disfigurement.Madeline immediately recalled her own situation from back then. She had been blind and also disfigured. It could be said that she had gone through the exact same thing as what Shirley was going through now.“This is the patient’s current state. Perhaps she might improve after a recovery period, but it might
